The detail
Pygmy goats descend from West African dwarf goats and are kept mostly as pets. They are small, stocky and playful, and a pair can live happily on a small lot with a shed and good fencing.
- Fencing needs
- 4 out of 5 (Squeezes through gaps)
What to weigh
Pygmies gain weight easily and do poorly on too much grain. Wethers are prone to urinary stones, so feed them properly.
